Lets talk about minimalist camping. Cowboy / Backpack / Minimalist / Bushcraft Tools, bedrolls, bags, tents, clothing.

>>2817065 total larp setup, that pack barely fits shit and half this shit can be replaced with modern alternatives that are less aesthetically pleasing but are way lighter weight, cheaper, more utility.
i know modernity is soulless as fuck and full of microplastics but when it comes to doing outdoor shit, modern shit is just generally better.

A waxed zeltbahn tarp is enough. Can make it a hammock or a shelter. I sleep straight on the ground because I'm a man.

So I've thought of looking over historical photos of frontier folks, like gold prospectors and such, and try to build a modern equivalent to their loadouts. How viable would something like this be for a backpack only setup?

Decided recently that I wanted to move away from a lot of the plastic-heavy items, and instead opt for a more traditional setup tho still being light. So I guess minimalism will have to do. This is the current plan:>old cotton canvas pack from the 50's >wool poncho/blanket >waxed cotton poncho/tarp >(granfors bruks large forest axe) >knife >msr alpine stowaway pot >fire starting kit >some form of water carry(1-2L titanium canteen?) >toothbrush >extra pair of wool socks >thick wool sweather Thats just the basic starting idea, I'm not entirely sure about the axe, as its obviously "heavy", but also very useful and versatile. Maybe a smaller version would be more ideal as I likely wont fell large trees. I'm also wondering if I should consider another form of ground insulation, like reindeer hide/sheepskin. Finally Im also wondering if I should consider some equipment for keeping the fire off the ground as much as possible to prevent damaging the ground and creating burn spots everywhere I go.

Can we rank all countries in Europe according to their /out/ value?

>>2838264 Doing anything that remotely looks like free camping in Italy will get you in trouble unless you're brown and with no papers or a trailer gypsy or an actual criminal doing something illegal, then the law can't touch you.
It's only legal to camp above 2000m as an emergency.

>>2838181 None are in S nor in F if you exclude city states and the oversea colonies (French Guiana, French Polynesia, Greenland).
Most European countries parts will be between C and E if you desire more than hiking in a nice cultural landscapes such as abundant interesting wildlife, the right to roam, free camping and easily accessible hunting and fishing then you will have few attractive countries. No European country has it all but usually there are a couple of excellent spots and possibilities to enjoy the outdoors. The again how many US-states have it all? Maybe 6?
Norway is a B in my opinion: it has great landscapes and offers a lot of freedom but has very little wildlife that can be spotted outdoors besides seabirds and it has little variety in flora. It's like an early Minecraft version world. Fishing is great, Small game hunting is really good, big game hunting is mediocre.

what strange / spooky stuff have you seen? once when i was in the desert, there was a telephone pole, on it looked exactly like a 10ft tall bird of prey, just eyeing me down it was about a good 5min of walking, which felt like forever, just to see that it was a transformer that looked weird, none of the other poles had it either sounds dumb, but it really did look exactly like a gigantic human sized hawk, and the "head" even seemed to follow you too, really interesting illusion, since it also hit all the primal parts of the brain that gone "you're about to be fucking eaten by a bird!!!!!!" a year or two later, when i was gonna take a picture, it was gone, which adds a strange air to "it was right there, i tell you!">inb4 go to /x/ for this shit i want real stories, not >i smelled the rotten shit fart gas, and my best friend was turned into a skinwalker, and then i pulled out that gun from videogame and blasted it, dude trust me

Back in the 90s, a friend and I were traveling down the 101 through Northern Cali when my truck started overheating. We stopped in a small town in Humboldt County in the late afternoon. The only repair shop in town wouldn't be open until the next day and we didn't have enough money for a hotel room, so my buddy and I decided we'd just go find a spot in the forest to camp for the night. We drove outside of town as far as we could and then walked down from the road to a small clearing we found in the forest. Everything was fine until it got dark We had built a fire and we were just getting comfortable when, all of a sudden we started getting hit by rocks that were being thrown at us from the surrounding darkness. The rocks seemed to be coming at us from different directions, but we could also hear them bouncing off the trunks of the surrounding trees which made it impossible to tell exactly where they were being thrown from. I became irate and started screaming threats and insults into the forest. The only response were more rocks. Whoever was throwing them made no sound whatsoever the entire time, which scared the shit out of me because I had been screaming vile insults toward them at the top of my lungs in the hopes of drawing them out. We even put out the fire to try and make ourselves less obvious targets, but it didn't help much. After about 15 minutes of this my friend and I looked at each other and agreed without saying a word that it was time to GTFO. We stumbled back up the hill to the truck in total darkness as we didn't have a flashlight. They seemed to stop throwing stuff at us once we left the clearing. In hindsight I believe we stumbled upon some kind of illegal grow operation and the "farmers" were trying to scare us off. We didn't know it at the time, but we learned later the area we camped was pretty dangerous at the time due to all of the illegal activity. I guess we're lucky that whoever it was didn't respond to my threats.

The infrastructure and population density is too good. The Swiss mountain jew has essentially conquered the landscape. You have to be into extreme sports or advanced level mountaineering to get anything out of it. Not really for the casual /out/doorsman. Still enjoyed it though.

anglers don't share spots, not to keep it to themselves but because most spots are just as good and you don't want a flock of idiots swarming one spot just go out there, look at banks, shadow from trees, algae, rocks, rapid currents, all the stuff fishes might like to hide in and throw a line

Looking for a sidearm for solo backpacking. Shotgun stays home—too heavy. Been relying on blades but want something better for defense (animals or creeps). Would prefer something not too bulky, and manageable recoil-wise (small hands, not a big person). Reliable and woods-worthy. Revolver or semi, open to either. What’s /out/ carrying?
Anonymous
38 special snubby like a Smith and Wesson 642. Can contact fire. 5 shots is enough to stop anything short of moose or grizzly. If in moose or grizzly get 357mag snubby instead and bring bear spray too.

Why does everyone here always recommend .38 and .357 revolvers to women? Just get something comfortable, light, and low recoil like a ruger 5.7, all the girls at my range love that gun. You'll be open carrying anyway so who cares about size.

Quoted By:
>>2838996 Kek. I'm all for revolvers, since they're just way more reliable, as well as safer, and no one needs 10+ shots for defense against animals anyways, but seriously?

Quoted By:
>>2831631 Best thing you can do is go to a local range and rent a few guns and try them out, see which one feels the best for you. I personally carry a Glock 19 in the woods, but my around town carry is a Springfield Hellcat. Another good option would be a Ruger LCP since it's pretty small and conceals well. Again, try and get some hands on with a few different models and pick whichever you like most!
